Investigations in the field of high-temperature catalysis often reveal complex interactions of heterogeneous, homogeneous, and radical chemistry coupled with mass and heat transfer. The fundamental aspects as well as several applications of high-temperature catalysis are covered in the light of these interactions. Benefits of molecular-based numerical simulations are discussed. Furthermore, thi...

Selectivity and conversion in high-temperature catalysis is shown to often be the result of complex interactions of heterogeneous, homogeneous, and radical chemistry coupled with mass and heat transfer. The fundamental aspects as well as several applications of high-temperature catalysis are discussed in the light of these interactions. Applications cover synthesis of basic chemicals and hydrog...

The application of intermetallic compounds for understanding in heterogeneous catalysis developed in an excellent way during the last decade. This review provides an overview of concepts and developments revealing the potential of intermetallic compounds in fundamental as well as applied catalysis research. Intermetallic compounds may be considered as platform materials to address current and f...

2014 The importance of Mössbauer Spectroscopy in heterogeneous catalysis research is increasing, since more and more catalysts are complex finely dispersed solids, sufficient characterization cannot be achieved easily with more conventional methods. After summarizing the special features of Mössbauer Spectroscopy of solid catalysts, we show and discuss some examples of its use in identifying ca...
